Perrigo 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Treatment Gel 60gm Tube

nice product and helped clear up my face

It works!!! I used this product in November 2024 - may 2025 no kidding after that 6th week it started to clear my hormonal acne right up. I suggest a vitamin C serum too but this product will clear your acne and keep it gone! When I stopped using it I had minimal acne so I used maybe 3 times a week to get my skin not use to it anymore. But give it 6 weeks! I promise this product will work! You need moisturizer! Great value for your money.

Benzoyl peroxide water based gel was my saving grace during my teens and twenties, and it basically cured my rather severe acne. A decade and a half later, I suddenly became highly allergic to it (possibly from overuse, stress, aging, etc or combo of these things). It would leave a red welt for days anywhere it touched my face. At this point in my life, 35ish years old acne wasn’t too bad and I found alternative treatments for the occasional pimple. However in the past few years, now in my 40s, I’ve been getting breakouts every several months, and some of these breakouts were getting more and more severe. Derm had got me into high concentration salicylic acid as a spot treatment and it seemed to keep my acne at bay for a while. But very recently, this 30% salicylic spot treatment method seemed to just irritate my skin without getting rid of the zit. I decided after an 8 year long break that i was desperate enough to give benzoyl peroxide another try and purchased this one, hoping for the best. Success! No allergic reaction! I followed another reviewer’s recommendation and washed it off after 10 minutes of using it as a spot treatment. This method and the many years my skin took a break from it, may be why I can now tolerate BP again. And I’m so very glad I can. It’s way more effective than salicylic on my skin, and shrunk existing zits that I’ve been fighting with for weeks within days. I’m gradually increasing the time I leave it on over a bigger area of my face (as preventative), and may try to leave it on overnight for the larger stubborn zits. I’m just hoping I don’t become allergic to it again, since it’s really been the most effective option for me throughout my life!

I bought this product for my teen 15 yrs old and 17 yrs old. They don't really break out but they can get really infected areas. I bought this product, Differin, and exposed clear pore serum to help my kids with the trouble areas. The item itself works very well and clears skin fast. The only problem is my kids misread the instructions,it says to put thin layer on affected area ( they took that as all over thier face), which resulted in patchy dry skin. So please read the instructions carefully! Another thing to note is if you wax your eyebrows (like my 17 yr old) do not use theses products,it will burn you!When used correctly, this product has been working well.It will also work well with the other two listed products.

So I have had bad skin my entire life, and I will never have *good* skin. However, after years of trying various products, this is the one that works for me. I have very fair, very sensitive skin that reacts to anything and everything. My acne is bacterial, and the only thing that has ever remotely worked for me is benzoyl peroxide, although products like Proactiv seemed to just keep the acne at a moderate level and most everything made my skin flake off. Then I visited Paris a couple of years ago, and had an absolutely horrid breakout. In desperation, I went to the local pharmacy, and they handed me a tube of 5% benzoyl peroxide much like this. No fragrances, a very short list of ingredients, and nothing suspiciously pore-clogging like shea butters, oils, etc that are in some "sensitive" labeled products (like Oxy). In France, the directions are to leave the product on for 5-10 minutes, and then rinse off. It seemed funny to me, because why not just use a face wash, but it worked like a charm. I finally ran out of the product about two months ago, and went through three different cleansers in an attempt to find something similar. I tried gentle washes with aloe (which contained fragrances, resulted in a breakout), products with no fragrance (which contained a mile-long list of ingredients, again, massive breakouts), and then finally found this. It's the closest thing to the stuff they use in Paris, and although this is labeled for use as a leave-on product, I use it like the French product and rinse it off after 5-10 minutes. Any more than that and my skin starts to burn. But it has been working perfectly. I'm so glad that I found something that I can use on my super-delicate skin, and after only a couple of days, I could confidently go makeup-free if I wanted to. I felt as though I had to write a review, because this product showed up far, far down the list of options in my search, but it most likely is the most basic, fragrance-free form of BP that you can get on Amazon. If you have extremely delicate skin like I do, it's a great product if you use it as they taught me in France and as I describe above. If you use it as a leave-on, it may be a bit harsh for anything other than a spot treatment. And of course, everyone's acne is different, and BP works best on bacterial acne (as opposed to acne caused by skin cell buildup, which responds better to salicylic acid and the like), so keep that in mind.

This product is great, it works 100%. I got this for my 13 year old nephew, uses it every night after he showers, and it cleared up literally 99% of his acne. I will definitely continue buying this product for him. If you have a teenager that needs ance treatment this is the product to get.

In my opinion, this is by far the BEST spot treatment I have ever used, and I promise you, that's saying something! I use this product on pimples (face and body) after my nightly skin routine and anytime I feel like I need it, and those spots look so much better by morning. As long as I have pimples (please God, I'm almost 40 😫), I will have this treatment near me at all times!

Good but didn’t get a brand new one it was open and used

Same as advertised and effective.
